My Riding Partner finally gets here!

Poor Lill. After a 28 hour delay by Zoom Airlines, she finally arrived in Stornoway via Glasgow. She looked pretty tired from the long frustrating journey, but once she got on the bike and the realization that she was finally in the Hebrides, her spirits really picked up. Now the fun part of the journey can begin.

This morning, we headed out to the lighthouse at Port Mholair and had an unbelievable view of the Minch both northward and southward from Stornoway with the hills and mountains of the mainland visible as distant blue shadows on the horizon. Cameras (well...mine at least) simply don't do it justice. You just have to get over here to see the beauty of the place.

My cousin has been trying to teach Lill to drive the "Fergie" and she took to it like a duck to water. The pictures below are of Lill driving the tractor down the road in Barvas on the west side of the island where my cousin, Jonathan and his Dad Donald are helping set up and coordinate events for the agricultural fair coming up in 2 weeks.
